“Somewhere, hidden from all of us, are panicked Establishment Republicans.”

Right on the money. This has their finger prints all over it. If they can get enough of the Thurston Howell/Karl Rove votes before the southern primaries, they and the complicit media can declare Mittens the winner before it begins.
I never thought I would see the day when the party I’ve been loyal to, held my nose and voted for, would stoop to the level of Democrats. Not to mention the all out assault they have waged on FR the last couple of weeks.
Aside from abortion, taxes, and immigration have been the driving positions we wanted from a candidate, and the only candidate even addressing these issues in this election is being attacked, not by others with better ideas, but by people arguing that we shouldn’t do anything about them. For me that certainly exposes their agenda.
It’s no wonder we got McLame last time.

I have a serious question. I was going to write a vanity post about it, but I figured I’d get flamed because I’m sure it’s been brought up before, but here goes:
If the Republican establishment sabotages us bad enough, and the Democrats wreak enough havoc on our primary process to give us Mitens against the popular will of the Conservative voters, can the delegates walk into the convention and change the presumed nominee. Isn’t it the delegates vote that counts in the end?
It would be great fun watching liberal heads explode right there on live TV.

Rush has talked about that in the past. While that can happen in theory, in his opinion it will never happen in reality.

The Repuklican estab ( as in a stab in your back ) lishment are doing the same thing with Rove to Herman Cain as they trashed Christine O'Donnell. where ? she won the primary in Delaware and had to shut her down when she became a threat to them, so the same as what they are doing to Herman Cain.
Now that it looks that Herman Cain could be the one who could possible to win the nomination, they have to shut him down with lies and attacks.

The next step in the Romney GOP Establishent attempt to railroad his nomination would be to move New Hampshire’s primary into December so they could get a Romney win as momentum going into Iowa on January 3rd and Nevada (where Romney stands a chance with Mormon support) on January 14th.

Hopefully they could extinguish oppposition before Florida hits on January 31st.

South Carolina on January 21st could complicate matters.
